"I was lucky to be growing up as a clubber in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 90's when it was blessed with some great clubs. Two of these in particular - the legendary techno club Pure and the unrivalled house club Tribal Funktion were huge influences on me, with both clubs bound together in the same location - The Venue (check the tracklist), a sweat-dripping, low-ceiling temple of chaos and creativity, now sadly no more.  Some of the tracks on this mix are old, some are newer but they all reflect these influences and the kind stuff myself and my friends might have been listening to either in style, in spirit or vibe. This is a party jam - a range of tracks that might've have been played at a house party surrounded by friends to propel them onto the living room dancefloor, or hype them up and get them out the door to a club. Enjoy"

Cult Osaka label Vanity Records played a pivotal role in the early underground Japanese music scene of the late 70s and early 80s, releasing an impressive number of cutting edge (and now hard-to-find) albums and singles in its short but very influential and groundbreaking existence. Its founder Agi Yuzuru, known as a singer, DJ, and the music critic/editor behind alternative music publication ROCK MAGAZINE (in which he notably coined the term « techno pop » in 1978 while reviewing Kraftwerk’s Die Mensch·Maschine) was a true visionary when it came to understanding new music genres and how they would change the course of culture. His intuition, impeccable taste and passion for connecting artists and spearheading projects made him a trailblazing force in the blossoming of the DIY electronic/avant-garde/synth/post-punk/wave movement in Japan and an all-around icon whose legacy still holds strong.

Avi Yuzuru sadly passed away on October 21st 2018. To celebrate his life and work, Osaka’s Kyou Records/Studio Warp will release a Vanity Records anthology in the form of three box sets (18 CDs total) on October 21st 2019. Eight years in the making and conceived in collaboration with Agi Yuzuru and the whole roster of artists involved with Vanity, the limited edition project includes CD reissues of all albums and singles originally released by the label as well as never-seen archival material.

Box Set 1: Vanity Box (11 CDs) - Edition of 500
All albums (most never released on CD before) as well as all tracks released as 7" singles on Vanity.

Box Set 2: Vanity Tapes (6 CDS) - Edition of 300
CD reissue of the cassette box set Limited Edition Vanity Records Box Set released in 1981 as an edition of 30 -  compiling the best demos received by Agi Yuzuru/Vanity.

Box Set 3: Musik (2 CDs) - Edition of 400
CD reissue of complilation Music originally released as a double LP in 1981. Also a selection of demos sent to Agi Yuzuru.

JD Twitch (Optimo) Plays Vanity Records

We're back with an hour long Forecast from London based party planner and all round good guy Inner Totality. He's been putting on shindigs with consistantly fantastic line-ups for quite a wee while now and it just so happens that he's also real good at piecing together musical bits for your listening pleasure, much like the one we're offering up here. It's seen us through some of the damper parts of Glasgow's month of vertical rain and we're pretty certain that whatever the climate is like where you are that you'll get something out of it too. Dive in and enjoy!

PS. It features some music by the man himself that will come into tape-shaped fruition on the brand new label 'Selkies' this April.

Steven Rutter aka B12 is one of techno’s most influential artists, famed for many releases on the iconic Warp Records including "Electro-Soma" that defined what is now the deep techno genre.

B12 was originally a duo before Steven Rutter took over the alias as a solo artist, but after a string of new releases on labels like Soma and Delsin, he decided to start producing under his own name.

Deciding it was time to look to the future with a new lease on life, Steven Rutter kept his sound the same, but shed the skin of B12 to mark a new point in his musical career.

Battling with personal demons, the B12 sound had become dark and introverted, and the Steven Rutter style keeps that same moody atmosphere, while adding upbeat rhythms and more jovial chord progressions without losing focus of the core sound that’s made his music so influential.

In addition to a numerous EP, “Riddle Me Sane” is the third album Steven Rutter has done under his own name, and it's in the timeless B12 style that's adored by his fans in all four corners of the world.

Cosmic melodies and sci-fi influenced textures with dystopian sound design, the thought provoking album paints pictures of alien landscapes, while its down tempo grooves also have the key elements needed for the dance floor.

Comfortingly familiar for those who love the classic B12 style, it also marks a distinct turning point in the sound that Steven Rutter has been looking to focus on.

Tracks like “Techno Prisoner” perfectly embody the style this release is aimed to purvey, but this masterpiece has been expertly programmed to play as a continuous piece of music rather than a selection of solo cuts.
